The Future of War; Far-out battle-tech

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency is funding for the worlds newest military technolgy. One of there projects is called the Disc-Roter Compound Helicopter. This helicopter is going to have fetures from both a plane and a helicopter. This helicopter is going to be able to hover like a helicopter and then will be able to switch from a helicopter to a plane in mid-air and fly at the same speed that a regular plane would. This aircraft will be able to land and takeoff as a plane but it will also be able to land and take off the same way a helicopter would. 

 The Disc-Rotor program aims to develop a new type of aircraft capable of transitioning from hovering like a helicopter to flying like a plane (artist's impression).
